It worked because we sold out our first 1.5MW solar farm in seven weeks! (Brian, Fremont, NE) We also used various bill stuffers to engage customers too. After getting a good return of surveys, we conducted almost a dozen community meetings and met with numerous community groups (Kiwanis, Rotary, Eagles, Optimists, etc.) to inform customers of the survey results as well as provide education about community solar. We used social media and conventional print media to promote the survey. Q: What processes did you use to engage and educate your residents? (Specific to Fremont, NE example)Ī: First, we conducted a survey, using both a paper and an online survey. For example, a community solar array from Madison Gas & Electric was installed on the roof of the City of Middleton’s Municipal Operations Center. Though not as common, a community solar arrays can also be developed on a large roof top. Q: As a general rule, how many acres of available land would a local government need to develop a community solar array?Ī: Depending on the solar technology deployed, a ground mount solar array typically requires 5 to 10 acres per megawatt of capacity.
